1997 was a year when the light at the end of the tunnel
began to show on Andrew and Roy's mammoth Castle Project which had dominated
their lives since 1991.

Shaun and Alison, by now getting used to having a family,
took Isobel out several times with Andrew and Andrew began to display the
"itchy feet" which would see him travelling all around Britain and Europe
in the next few years. It was also the year he became a published
author!
